Bosh S&T To Miami Done Deal? (Update on Pg. 8)

Like when Colangelo was able to bring Dallas into the sign and trade for Turkoglu in order to add depth to the roster, it looks like more teams may be involved in the sign and trade for Bosh.

Yet sources say that a four-team trade scenario between the Heat, Raptors, Bobcats and Rockets hatched on the eve of LeBron’s hour-long “Decision” special on ESPN would enable Toronto to bring back an asset or two in the wake of Chris Bosh’s departure but also avoid taking back Beasley. Which is believed to be the only sort of sign-and-trade that the Raptors would consider.

"One source with knowledge of Toronto’s thinking, however, insists that the four-team trade -- which would require Houston to send at least $3.1 million in salary to the Raptors -- is "not happening." Toronto continues to convey the message that it is a reluctant partner in any deal that makes Bosh’s departure more lucrative."

Why would we want Jordan Hill?
The Raptors already have Bargs, Amir, Ed, Alabi and Evans who will all need minutes at the 4/5, there won't be many left for Jordan Hill.
Kyle Lowry you say? Now I'm excited.

Either way, none of this happens. Raptors will take back trade exceptions and draft picks, I think Colangelo is gonna try and get all Sam Presti up in here.

If Houston is supposed to send us salary, and we could get our first rounder back.

Could we potentially get that pick back from the heat, plus Jordan Hill from Houston, and another filler from Houston?

It all depends on what else moves in the trade, but yes, there's probably some configuration that could result in that. Not saying that it would happen, but it's possible. Two-team trades are tough enough to speculate on, let alone four-way trades.

A trade exemption doesn't seem to signal that. That would signal that they are going to hijack an overpaid star from a floundering franchise and hope that he can gel with all the spare parts that BC is accumulating, maybe BC should go on A&E's hoarders.

I'm starting to like the trade exemption more and more. The West is going to be full retard next year. Name three teams that you can guarantee will miss the playoffs, you can't. More than a couple teams are going to be eating pavement and looking to shed salary. Could Nash make the raps pretenders in the East?

This only works if we get rid of Turk. We could have sonny, demar, kleiza, and battier. Bellineli is cheap and a expendable salary that some other team may want.

Demar and battier would start and sonny and kleiza come off the bench. Call me crazy, but if either demar pans out as a scorer this would be a good great line up and good depth for our sg and sf positions...
